    I learned how to crochet when I was very small. I appreciate all the ways you have shown how to crochet because I have wanted to find a way to relearn for a very long time. I especially appreciate the videos showing how to crochet.

    I am so grateful for your visit to "My Favorite Camping Sites and Home Decor" page. I also appreciate your sweet Angel Blessing. I hope when you invite your friends to camp out at your home, I will be included. :)

    Thanks so much for creating this wonderful lens! I haven't crocheted since I was a girl, and this will be a great refresher.

    Excellent lens for the aspiring crocheter. Thanks for a job well done!

    I spent a lot of time in the 50's watching my granny crochet. Her fingers and the needle seemed to blur with string on one side and a doily or pillowcase fringe on the other side.

    My grandmother taught me how to crochet years ago. I found it to be quite relaxing. Thanks for the instructions on some of the things I have forgotten.

    WOW! A great crochet resource site!! My grandmother used to make crochet doilies in all shapes and sizes. I appreciate the videos and illustrations here cause I would like to try my hand at making doilies as well. Thanks for sharing!

    You have done an excellent job in showing and describing how to crochet. Great page.

    As always, you have great instructions! Scheduling this one to go on the Craft Site for learning new crafts. I think this one deserves a little dusting of Angel Dust!

    There's some great information here. My mother is a great knitter but but she and my wife have been talking about trying crochet recently. I'll pass this lens onto them.

    A very beautiful beginner crochet tutorial. Wonderful pictures. Crochet is a very worthy pastime, I enjoy it very much. Blessed.

    My nana used to crochet the most beautiful silk doilies (most of which i still have!) but I've always prefered knitting to crochet, - crochet patterns baffle me! I do have enough working knowledge of it though to join the seams of my knitting together as this is a whole lot easier for me than sewing!

    I used to love crocheting but now the inflammation in my hands really limits how often I can work on it. I love how you have displayed how to crochet here. Even I would understand ;)

    Excellent and informative - blessed!

    I learned to crochet a few years ago. I love it. I've stuck to simple projects thus far. I'm getting better at it...

    Excellent instructions. Very easy to follow. I can knit, but I could never crochet anything other than a chain. Thanks.

    after a lot of attempts to get started and years of just wishing I can finally do a single crochet stitch..... hopefully by the end of winter I can also do a double crochet stitch! (Knitting on the other hand just isn't happening, my hands and brain can't comprehend the two needle thing)

    Lovely clear directions and I can feel the urge to crochet coming on me again.
  • KaraLynnRussell Mar 27, 2010 @ 9:48 pm | delete
    This lens has some excellent tips and resources on it. I am an enthusiastic but not particularly skilled crocheter. This is a very worthwhile hobby, even for those of us who never advance beyond simple projects. It's relaxing and for those of us to tend to mindlessly munch while watching TV, it keeps our hands busy and out of the potato chip bag. Thank you for sharing this.

    You probably have seen my crochet lens where I introduce everyone to my grandma who taught me crochet oh and how to cook too! Crochet? Well, I must admit ... I am hooked!
  • blue22d Jan 8, 2010 @ 9:50 am | delete
    ***** to you. This is a wonderful teaching lens. I love crochet and learned from my sister. She could make so many great things. I occasionally struggle with a pattern but enjoy it. I wish more moms would get their daughters involved. Thanks for doing this lens.

    This will be very helpful indeed. As you can see, all I can crochet so far is pears! :-) I loved that crochet mouse and the poem was wonderful.

    I love to crochet. My grandma, who lived to be 99, taught me how. Never as good as she was, but it is very enjoyable. Makes me wonder why I don't do it more often. Just thought back, and it's been six or seven years since I've done any crocheting. Will surely use this lens as a reference when I do get back around to it. :)

    Back again. Daughter is reading and learning.

    My daughter would love to crochet. However, I am having such a hard time teaching her. This will be a great help. We will be back for her next lesson in crochet. Thanks for the info.

    I've just started crocheting again after many years away from it. This is a great reference for me. Well done!

    Very good instructions in this lens.

    I specially like the "decoding".

    I used to love to crochet in my teen years! I tried crocheting a blanket for my baby, but it came out looking like a rug! lol If you don't do it, you lose it. I'd love to take it back up again, at least now I know where to come for help :) Great lens :)

    The last time I crocheted was probably 30 years ago...this lens made me think of picking it up again. Thanks for a great instruction lens. 5*

    Excellent step by step instructions of how to crochet, something I haven't done in ages. Knitting and crocheting seem to be back "in" for twentysomethings right now. Blessed by an Angel. :)

    Great, clear instructions. I'm going to be teaching three girls how to crochet this fall. I may refer to your lens.

    I like the "how to" pictures alot! Seems almost anyone could do it with the way you have laid this out....even me!

    Good clear instructions, just looking at them reminds me how to crochet and it must be 20 years since I did any crocheting.
